Dark Elves, Hounds & a Wight Champion

 

So close to being done with the Dungeon level 4 monster encounter table.  Today we start off with a Wight Champion. Who else but Krell, Lord of the Undead should I use? I found this STL in a group on Telegram for Warhammer Scans.

Paint scheme is rather simple. I used "Mephiston Red" for body armor and helmet. To highlight the armor a little I mixed in some "White Scar" for a 2nd layer. "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" for metal bitz. Bone and horns with "Screaming Skull" with "White Scar" Teeth. "XV-88" for his Micheal Jackson glove. "Flash Gits Yellow" for axe frilly fibers (no clue what they are called). Washed most everything in either "Agrax Earthshade" or "Skeleton Horde". Final detail being to add "Nikilakn Oxide" in very small amounts over armor studs and in joints to indicate oxidation.

With this paint scheme I'm mostly emulating a painter I found on facebook, he goes by NRMpaint. You can find him at https://www.facebook.com/nrmpaint. Below it his current work in progress for Krell ( I don't think he has released the finished version yet).

This was done by NRMpaint, I liked what he started, so tried to emulate it.

 

 Next we move on to Witch Elf Champion. I'm still on the look out for glorious 80s hair Witch Elves, sadly no luck. Also my attempts at 3D scaning "Bob"s models have failed miserably. So I'm still using Ystlund's Witch Elves. You can see Ystlund's full catalog here. As I was writing this article, I was going to add a link directly to his Witch Elves, sadly it appears he got a copy write ban, and all his designs that are not undead or not terrain are now missing.  This is true for both his 3Dcults and Myminifactory accounts. 

 

 I painted her the same as her sisters. That can be found here.

Puppies! We need warhounds. I've found quite a few miniatures in the old school style of late 80s early to 90s by looking up old Mordeim miniatures. When I get to showing off the Warrior Classes, this is were Mordeim really paid off for me. But I digress, one the Mordheim factions is "Witch Hunters" and they have hounds, these will work perfect. These I found on Telegram, in a group that is now gone.

Look at those cute doggos at the bottom.

 They kinda look like Mastiffs to me, so I googled Mastiff for fur color scheme ideas. I found two that I liked. 

The left has a pale yellow fur with black snout, around eyes, and tips of ears. The right is almost all black other than white patches on neck and chest. The only change I made was to give them pink noses, to help define the end of the face in the sea of black. As a note: I spray paint prime all my miniatures in black before painting them.

 

For pale yellow doggos, I used "Screaming Skull" for the fur and used "Black Templar" ink to blacken eyes, snout and ears. I used both "Soulblight Grey" and "Agrax Earthshade" washes over the fur. Then went back in and dry brushed a little more "Screaming Skull". 

 

 

For the near all black doggos, I dry brushed "Scar White" over all its fur then washed everything with "Black Templar" ink.

For both I picked out the metal with "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" then the usual  "XV-88"for leather. Lastly a little "Scar White" for teeth and claws, "Mephiston Red" for battle scars, and "Emperor's Children" for the nose tips.

I for the life of me, can't remember where I found this Beastmaster. I did some slight editing to the model, removing spikes from the whip handle and removed both his nipple rings. I figured those details wouldn't print well once shrunk. The paint scheme matches that of my Witch Elves, just adding a "Moot Green" whip.

 

Update: found the original STL for the Dark Elf Beastmaster here.  

 

Then here we have all 5 together. 

I'm up to 487 monsters painted, 535 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 7/25/25. 

Only 2 monsters left to finished Dungeon Level 4 monster encounter table. 

Only 71 monsters left to finish the entire Old World monster encounter table. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Almost Done with Level 4

 

Last time we left off, I still needed to paint up 3 Plague Priests//Plague Lords.

I found the following 4 Plague Monks on Telegram in the group STLHammer Workshop.

 I used Monk #3 & #4 for my base Plague Monks. To make Monk #1 & #2 stand out as Priests//Lords I felt I needed to add Scrolls to the models.

 

I found this STL on Cults3d.com.

 The parchment can be found here. I made some slight edits and added it to Monk #1 & Monk #2. Originally I was going to print one of these monks twice, but I later found the Lord Skrolk model on telegram, so clearly I had to use him.

That gets us caught up to the previous poll, on what I should paint next.

I of coarse, did another poll. 
Tied for first & second, we get Wraiths and Dark Elf Assassins.
Third place was the Wight Champion//Lord.

 

I found these classic 8 Wraiths together on Telegram in a private group. I decided to use only two models to save time on having to shrink the model and add supports. I liked the ones labeled 4 & 5 best. I painted these the same as my ghosts, but choosing to leave their Scythes as physical objects as where the rest of the model is "ethereal".

I believe I found these Dark Elf Assassins on Telegram.

 Purple cloths, black capes, gold and silver armor and weapons.

I'm up to 480 monsters painted, 535 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 7/20/25. 

Only 9 monsters left to finished Dungeon Level 4 monster encounter table. 

Only 78 monsters left to finish the entire Old World monster encounter table. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Lots of Large monsters and a 3rd cookie sheet complete.

 

So I did another pole asking what I should paint next as I work through the Level 4 Encounter table.

 1st: Juggernauts of Khorne

2nd: Dragon Ogres

3rd: Skaven Plague Priests/Lords 

 Starting with Juggies, I found the model I wanted, sadly its not as good a quality of scan as I would like. Its just one piece (instead of the 6 pieces each leg, head, and body), with some of the detail poorly defined.  This STL came from Telegram.

Found in STLHammer_Workshop group on Telegram.

 I wanted this model over newer ones (or the really ugly old one). This was a model I once owned back in late 90s early 2000s. I had converted several metal bloodletters models to ride them back in the day for my fantasy daemon army.

I stayed with the traditional paint scheme for these. "Mephiston Red", "Gehenna's Gold", "Abaddon  Black" & "Runefang Steel" for most of the body, using some "Administratum Grey" for highlights. Then did the face/skull area in "Screaming Skull" with "White Scar" Teeth.  Washed most everything in either "Agrax Earthshade" or "Skeleton Horde". Last detail being "Flash Gits Yellow" for the eyes.

Four Juggernauts of Khorne, no riders yet, those arrive in the expansions.

 We added "mounted" rules in our Lustria expansion, which we continue into the Norsca expansion. In the Norsca expansion, Juggernauts can have either Chaos Warriors or Bloodletters riding them into battle. When I get to that expansion, I will make the riders that can be magnetized to them.

 Next up, we have Dragon Ogres. 

I have always loved Dragon Ogres. I had the old metal models once upon a time. I have the new larger plastic ones, that I currently use for Kings of War. I think I paid $23 for these STLS (plus Old School Naggash, Bloodthirster 1998 version, and a Taur'ruk) on Cults3d.com. Leao is who I bought the Dragon Ogres from, but at some point the models got reported, and were deleted from his available models. I have seen them available on Telegram for free.

3 Dragon Ogres. I mirrored the center Dragon Ogre's lower body to give a little more variety to them.

 Paint scheme: "Sotek Green", "Xereus Purple" lower body, with "Kislev Flesh". Pick out some "Runefang Steel" and "Genhenna's Gold" for metal bits. "XV-88" for wood handles on weapons. Some "Aboddon Black" here and there. Pick out "White Scar" for teeth and claws.  And as usual washed most everything in either "Agrax Earthshade" or "Skeleton Horde".

 Last model for today is Bull Centaur Champion. This is yet another model sculpted by Fabelzel. This one was not included in Tonoborus's Chaos Dwarf Pack. I found it on Telegram. I painted him to match the normal Bull Centaurs I did earlier.

This paint scheme uses all the same colors used on the Juggernauts above. With the only really difference is, I dry brushed "white scar" over the bull body section, and them washed that with "Black Templar".

You'll notice I skipped doing the Skaven Plague Priests/Lords. I need either one model that took up 2 spaces or two models that took up 1 space to complete my 3rd cookie sheet (there are 3 Plague Priests). So I will paint those up next.

Though that means I can show off the 3rd Cookie sheet here. 

 This cookie sheet has 135 monsters. The 2nd sheet has 154. And the first sheet has 176 monsters.

I'm up to 465 monsters painted, 535 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 7/12/25. 

Only 93 monsters left to finish the entire Old World monster encounter table. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Final Look at LVL 3, and then start LVL 4

 So last post I finished all the monsters needed for the Level 3 Monster Encounter table, but I forgot to do the video, showing them all at once, so lets show that here.

Rolls 12-16 & 21-26

Rolls 31-36 & 41-45

Rolls 46, 51-56, & 61-65

 

I'm in the Warhammer Quest! Facebook group. In that group on June 27th, I started a pole asking what I should paint from the Level 3 Table first.

The results were:

1st: Stone Trolls

2nd: Jezzail Gun Teams

And tied for 3rd: Mummies & Beasts of Nurgle 

Lets start with some trolls. Through Telegram I found the 6th edition Stone Trolls, which were exactly what I wanted. They are shrank down smaller than 67% for width and depth so they would fit on my normal sized base. Went with the classic blue skin and soft white underbelly paint scheme.

 

Update 8/2/2025: Tonoborus now provides a custom Stone Troll for 60 cents. You can find it here. 

 

Tonoborus's Stone Troll.

Next we have Jezzail Gun Teams. These were part of a large group of Skaven STLs I found on Telegram. 

2nd to last row, near the middle is the Jezzail Gun Team.

I painted these very similar to my Plague Monks, "Warpstone Glow" green robes, with "Corax White" hoods, "Kislev Flesh" skin and fur (wash skin with "skeleton Horde" wash fur with "Agrax Earthshade"), pick out details like metal, wood, & Bags, and we are all done.

 

 

Next up, classic Mummies. These mummies pre-date Khemrian armies in Warhammer, back when all undead was under one book. I lifted these from Telegram as well, choosing two different models for a little variation. "Moot Green" rotting flesh, "Screaming Skull" bandages, pick out some metal and wood. Wash everything with  "Agrax Earthshade" and all done.

Lastly for today, we get Beasts of Nurgle. There have been many generations of this model. This may be the oldest version. Keeping with all my previous Nurgle deamons, the base color is "Flash Gitz Yellow" with a "Agraz Earthshade" wash. Used "Emperor's Children" pink for tentacles (again washed with Agrax Earthshade). "Troll Slayer Orange" for the underbelly, pick out some "Mephiston Red" lips & Eye Slits, and "White Scar" for  Claws, Teeth, Eyes, and ends of tentacles.

 

I'm up to 457 monsters painted, 535 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 7/5/25. 

Only 101 monsters left to finish the entire Old World monster encounter tables. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.
